When buying clothes in foreign online stores and especially auctions, such as, for example, eBay, you may often encounter the fact that instead of the usual size scales that everyone is used to, the actual sizes are given in the product description, which often do not it's easy to figure it out.
But what about actual sizes? As a rule, no more than three or four are indicated in the product description, but there are a lot of measurement options. Plus they are listed on English language, and, as usual, in inches. It's easy to get confused. Below, we have tried to collect all possible options. Some of them are used frequently, some very rarely.
And yet, many users who are adept at online shopping simply keep a table with all their data at hand, which is very convenient. This does not mean that you need to spend an hour taking all the measurements that are described on this page, only the most common ones (chest, waist, shoulder width, etc.) are enough.
A few tips for taking measurements:
- For these purposes, it is best to use the classic, well-known measuring tape - a centimeter.
- It is better not to try to take measurements from yourself on your own, but to use outside help.
- The person being measured should be relaxed, looking straight ahead, standing straight with feet shoulder-width apart. The dress code is as light as possible, without shoes. The process does not tolerate fuss, the person being measured should not change position, turn his head, etc.
- When measuring circles, the maximum dimensions are indicated.
